Does anyone know what size the cap is for the low pressure port? I dropped the damn cap and it went hiding somewhere under the engine. I have seen 13mm caps for sale...would this be the size??

The low pressure and high pressure ports are all the same size for all R134 systems. The small cap is low pressure and the large cap is high pressure. 13mm sounds like the size for the low pressure port.
